• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Green chili - 1, finely chopped
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Coriander leaves - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon

• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons (for cooking)
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, mash the boiled potatoes and add ragi flour, chopped onion, green chili, ginger, coriander leaves, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, black pepper, and bread crumbs. Mix well until a dough forms.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crisp.
4. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns in a separate pan or toaster.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of the bun, followed by the cooked ragi patty, sliced tomato, and cucumber. Add green chutney on top, and cover with the other half of the bun.
